Lapeirousia season

Dear Friends,
I currently have Lapeirousia oreogena in bloom. This is its
2nd year. The small flowers are intensely colored and very striking.
I gave it is expected dry season, but was afraid I had over done it
by denying water too long. It is responding nicely to late watering.
It is blooming about a month later than last year.
I also have and expect flowers soon on L. jacquinii and L.
silenoides. The former bloomed last winter, but I am anticipating
first bloom on the latter species.
The flowers are very intensely colored, tiny and have a definite charm.
Enjoying these small goodies. Jim W.
ps the weather is still oddly mild with another day of 60 F and
sunshine - that's 4 in a row . Odd Jan and Feb.
